$1.5 Trillion GOP Tax Cut Thread

[Sestak]

That's Collins and Murkowski for repealing Hillsdale provision.

[LimoLiberal]

C'mon Donnelly. Make Pence break the tie.

Seriously though the filibuster should be abolished as there will be so much good stuff that Democrats can accomplish without it and Republicans know Democrats will benefit the most from its abolition.

It would almost certainly be undone a few years later though.

I doubt it

It is hard to repeal social programs/benefits once the public gets their hands on them.

Part of why ObamaCare repeal failed is that ObamaCare basically is the conservative program. Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman are basically moderate republicans, and kept many liberal amendments out, most notably the public option. Single-Payer, or any non-trade part of the Sanders agenda, is not the conservative program and they would repeal it in about 5 seconds without the filibuster.

[Sestak]

Wait where's Donnelly right now?

I used to agree, but the Obamacare repeal only failed by one vote.  Republicans won't always be as incompetent as they are now (I assume).

FISCHER IS A YES???

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Which for me is actually sort of the problem, because I primarily want Democrats moving on social issues. I care about deficit.

There is no political benefits from caring about the deficit.

If I was R-CA, I'd be supporting this tax bill.

For crying out loud, you guys would probably label Kamala Harris R-CA.

Who was the Rethug that added this amendment for endowments?

Part of the reason it failed was because of the Medicaid expansion being popular.

[Sestak]

And it's time for The Vote.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Manager amendment passes by voice vote. TIME FOR FINAL PASSAGE.

[Keep cool-idge]

Stupid Wyden I’m happy that taxes are being lowered.
